Question

45.0g of a sample placed in a graduated cylinder causes the water level to rise from

25.0mL to 40.0mL. Density of the sample is?

Answer 1

3g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be calculated using the formula;

Density = mass/volume

Where;

Density = g/mL

mass = grams (g)

volume = (mL)

According to this question, 45.0g of a sample placed in a graduated cylinder causes the water level to rise from

25.0mL to 40.0mL. This means that the volume of the sample is 40mL - 25mL = 15mL

Using D = m/v

D = 45/15

D = 3g/mL

Hence, the density of the sample is 3g/mL
